POEM STARTER
Write a poem that focuses on the theme of imagination.
You could think about the role of imagination itself, or just get really creative and write your own imaginative poem.
My imagination
My imagination
Is weird
It’s wonky
It’s everything I love
Somewhere I wish to go
Someone I wish to see
Everything I wanna be
My imagination
Makes the wildest things
Weirdest dreams
Craziest ideas
All come true
In daydreaming
Or in writing
Or somewhere in between
My imagination
Is weird
It’s wonky
Is everything my family hates
Something to be hated
Something to not understand
Something to not listen to at all
My imagination
Is crazy
Unrealistic
Unneeded
Unwanted
They don’t understand
The reasoning
So it’s automatically bad
My imagination
Makes me stupid
Makes me unfocused
Makes me annoying
Makes me weird
And all sorts of things
So why do I have it?
My imagination
Makes _no one _
In person
Want to listen to me yap
About my daydreams
My stories
My fictional characters
And fictional places
My imagination
Makes me write
Makes me imagine
Makes me sing
Makes me create
Makes me happy
Makes me whole
My imagination
Does a wonderful thing
That nothing else
In this world can do
Not a place
Not a thing
Not even a person (for right now anyway)
But it makes me _me_
